Levobetaxolol ophthalmic Side Effects

General

Although systemic adverse events have been only infrequently reported, levobetaxolol ophthalmic drops may be absorbed systemically and side effects similar to systemically administered beta-blockers such as severe respiratory or cardiac reactions have been experienced.[Ref]

Cardiovascular

Respiratory

Respiratory side effects have been related to the ability of levobetaxolol to inhibit bronchodilation, which may be important in some patients with reversible airway disease, including asthma or severe obstructive lung disease. Asthmatic attacks, bronchospasm, pulmonary distress, bronchitis, dyspnea, pharyngitis, pneumonia, rhinitis, and sinusitis have been reported.[Ref]
